Summer Make Up Must Have's

A few days ago there was a massive beauty sale at my work (Cosmopolitan Magazine, Cape Town), so I decided it was about time I threw out all my old make (those bright pink palettes,and broken lipsticks eewh) and took advantage of the beauty sale.

There are a few must have's for this Summer when it comes to make up. For this Summer remember the following; "THCC", which means 'tan','hair','cheeks' and 'colour'. If you remember THCC you are bound to look absolutely fabulous and Summer ready!

1)   TAN  - My number one must have for Summer 2013/2014 is good tanning products! The worst thing to see on the beach is horrible Oros man tan lines on the back of a girls legs, and even worse that that is sunburn! Below is the amazing tanning and sunscreen product 'Caribbean Tan' range, as well as moistuiser with a tint in. These products are incredibly important if you want to ensure a safe tan and a moistuised tanned body this Summer!

                                 

 

2) HAIR- During Summer, ones hair can become very britle,damaged and unhealthy. The key is constant treatment and TLC. Hannon offers a wide range of hair care products.I personally love the Hannon hair moisturiser and the Hannon hair silk.

 

 3) CHEEKS - There's nothing more beautiful than well applied blush to make a natural Summer face! My fav brands for powder cheek colours are NYX and Revlon and my fav mouse cheek colour brand are Coco Chanel and Elizabeth Arden. For holidays this Summer 2013/2014 the natural look is totally in! Go for the light BB cream cover with a glittery bronze/light pink blush with mascara. This look definetly says 'beach ready'.

 

 

4) COLOUR- Colour is a must must must have this Summer! Bright lipsticks and bright nail polishes must be on your Christmas list this year! They are not only super cute, but really easy to wear ith most outfits and hair colours, and can be mixed and matched with different colours and styles. I love green/ blue nailpolishes for my toes and bright oranges and pinks for my hands. As for lips NYX  range offers absolutely amazing palettes with 5 different lipsticks/glosses to choose from. This Summer, pinks are in, Revlon, Gosh and Woolworths have some super amazing lipglosses in brights that are bound to turn heads.
